Abstract
Although microbial transformation has been expected as a substitution technology for organic synthesis, microbial toxicity and water-insolubility of synthetic substrates prevent the practical application of the technology. For these problems, the authors have developed two types of interfacial bioprocesses, solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interface bioreactors and applied the systems to many microbial transformations. In the bioreactors, addition of substrates and accumulation of products were remarkably enhanced based on the toxicity alleviation effect on the interfaces and solubilization of substrates and/or products in an organic phase of the bioreactors. Recently, a novel tacky liquid-liquid interface bioreactor has been developed and applied to actinomycetes and yeasts. Furthermore, a novel bioconversion system with fungal spores in an organic phase has been constructed based on the combination of two facts as follows: (i) the fungal spores are never resting cells and are active ones like the vegetable cells, (ii) the fungal spores have the excellent solvent-tolerance. In this review, the tacky liquid-liquid interface bioreactor (L-L IBRtac) and the non-aqueous sporular bioconversion system with immobilized fungal spores (NASB) are mainly given outlines.

Abstract
The microbial transformation of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (4-AD; I) by three fungal species, involved Fusarium solani BH1031, Aspergillus awamori MH18 and Mucor circinelloides W12, has been studied. The latter two fungi were studied for the first time on biotransformation of 4-AD. The main product obtained by Fusarium solani BH1031 was 17α-oxa-D-homo-androst-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (testolactone; IV), which can be used as an anticancer agent. The main derivative yielded by Aspergillus awamori MH18 was 11α-hydroxyandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (11α-OH-4-AD; VI), which was an important intermediate to produce Eplerenone. Meanwhile, the microbial transformation of 4-AD by Mucor circinelloides W12 produced three derivatives. Possible metabolic pathway of 4-AD via Fusarium solani BH1031 was proposed. Furthermore, the optimization for the production of 11α-OH-4-AD was carried out and the conversion rate reached to 84.0%. In this process, the dextrin and corn flour showed significant effects by response surface analysis.

Abstract
Hydroxylation of steroids at various positions is a powerful tool for the production of valuable pharmaceutical ingredients and precursors. Our paper reported the synchronous dihydroxylation of an efficient strain, i.e., Colletotrichum lini AS3.4486, at two points. C. lini AS3.4486 was selected from 10 strains; this strain can catalyze the dihydroxylation of androst-1,4-dien-3,17-dione at C-11α and C-15α positions. Transformation of ADD(I) by C. lini AS3.4486 produced metabolites II-IV. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray as 15-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (15α-OH-ADD; II), 11,15-dihydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (11,15-diOH-ADD; III), and 15,17β-dihy-droxyandrost-1,4-dien-3-one (15-OH-BD; BD is the abbreviation of boldenone; IV). III, as a novel compound, was reported for the first time. The course of conversion and mechanism about dihydroxylation reaction was also investigated. On the basis of time course analysis of hydroxylation, I underwent regioselective hydroxylation at 15 position and was subsequently converted to III and IV. Enzyme inhibition analysis showed that 11- and 15-hydroxylations were catalyzed by different hydroxylases. The effect of substrate concentration on I transformation was also determined. Results showed that the optimum concentration of I was 20 g/L, and the yield of III was up to 18.8 g/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The biotransformation of steroids by fungal biocatalysts has been recognized for many years. There are numerous fungi of the genus Aspergillus which have been shown to transform different steroid substances. The possibility of using filamentous fungi Aspergillus brasiliensis cells in the biotransformation of androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione, was evaluated. METHODS The fungal strain was inoculated into the transformation medium which supplemented with androstadienedione as a substrate and fermentation continued for 5 days. The metabolites were extracted and isolated by thin layer chromatography. The structures of these metabolites were elucidated using (1)H-NMR, broadband decoupled (13)C-NMR, EI Mass and IR spectroscopies. RESULTS The fermentation yielded one reduced product: 17β-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3-one and two hydroxylated metabolites: 11α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-diene-3,17-dione and 12β-hydroxyandrost-1,4-diene-3,17-dione. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained in this study show that A. brasiliendsis could be considered as a biocatalyst for producing important derivatives from androstadienedione.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biotransformation is an effective technique for the synthesis of libraries of bioactive compounds. Current study on microbial transformation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (1) was carried out to produce various functionalized metabolites. RESULTS Microbial transformation of DHT (1) by using two fungal cultures resulted in potent butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors. Biotransformation with Macrophomina phaseolina led to the formation of two known products, 5α-androstan-3β,17β-diol (2), and 5β-androstan-3α,17β-diol (3), while biotransformation with Gibberella fujikuroi yielded six known metabolites, 11α,17β-dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one (4), androst-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (5), 11α-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3,17-dione (6), 11α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (7), 12β-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (8), and 16α-hydroxyandrost-1,4-dien-3,17-dione (9). Metabolites 2 and 3 were found to be inactive, while metabolite 4 only weakly inhibited the enzyme. Metabolites 5-7 were identified as significant inhibitors of BChE. Furthermore, predicted results from docking simulation studies were in complete agreement with experimental data. Theoretical results were found to be helpful in explaining the possible mode of action of these newly discovered potent BChE inhibitors. Compounds 8 and 9 were not evaluated for enzyme inhibition activity both in vitro and in silico, due to lack of sufficient quantities. CONCLUSION Biotransformation of DHT (1) with two fungal cultures produced eight known metabolites. Metabolites 5-7 effectively inhibited the BChE activity. Cholinesterase inhibition is among the key strategies in the management of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The experimental findings were further validated by in silico inhibition studies and possible modes of action were deduced.

Abstract
The potential of Fusarium oxysporum var. cubense UAMH 9013 to perform steroid biotransformations was reinvestigated using single phase and pulse feed conditions. The following natural steroids served as substrates: dehydroepiandrosterone (1), pregnenolone (2), testosterone (3), progesterone (4), cortisone (5), prednisone (6), estrone (7) and sarsasapogenin (8). The results showed the possible presence of C-7 and C-15 hydroxylase enzymes. This hypothesis was explored using three synthetic androstanes: androstane-3,17-dione (9), androsta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (10) and 3α,5α-cycloandrost-6-en-17-one (11). These fermentations of non-natural steroids showed that C-7 hydroxylation was as a result of that position being allylic. The evidence also pointed towards the presence of a C-15 hydroxylase enzyme. The eleven steroids were also fed to Exophialajeanselmei var. lecanii-corni UAMH 8783. The results showed that the fungus appears to have very active 5α and 14α-hydroxylase enzymes, and is also capable of carrying out allylic oxidations. Ceratocystis paradoxa UAMH 8784 was grown in the presence of the above-mentioned steroids. The results showed that monooxygenases which effect allylic hydroxylation and Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement were active. However, redox reactions predominated.

Abstract
Microbial transformation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 1) using Penicillium griseopurpureum Smith and Penicillium glabrum (Wehmer) Westling has been investigated. Neither fungi had been examined previously for steroid biotransformation. One novel metabolic product of DHEA (1) transformed with P. griseopurpureum Smith, 15α-hydroxy-17a-oxa-d-homo-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (5), was reported for the first time. The steroid products were assigned by interpretation of their spectral data such as (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR, and HR-MS spectroscopy. P. griseopurpureum Smith was proven to be remarkably efficient in oxidation of the DHEA (1) into androst-4-en-3,17-dione (2). The strain was also observed to yield different monooxygenases to introduce hydroxyl groups at C-7α, -14α, and -15α positions of steroids. Preference for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation to lactonize D ring and oxidation of the 3β-alcohol to the 3-ketone were observed in both incubations. The strain of P. glabrum (Wehmer) Westling catalyzed the steroid 1 to generate both testololactone 3, and d-lactone product with 3β-hydroxy-5-en moiety 8. In addition, the strain promoted hydrogenation of the C-5 and C-6 positions, leading to the formation of 3β-hydroxy-17a-oxa-d-homo-5α-androstan-3,17-dione (9). The biotransformation pathways of DHEA (1) with P. glabrum (Wehmer) Westling and P. griseopurpureum Smith have been investigated, respectively. Possible metabolic pathways of DHEA (1) were proposed.
